Fred Funk became the oldest champion at age 48, one stroke ahead of runners-up Luke Donald, Tom Lehman, and Scott Verplank.[1] Because of numerous weather delays, the second round was completed on Sunday, the third on Monday morning,[2][3] followed by the final round.[1] Funk played 32 holes on Monday in blustery conditions.

Defending champion Adam Scott finished four strokes back, in a tie for eighth place.
